On the bottom part of the "Employment" section, I neglected to fill out my extra curricular activities (I actually did a while ago, but they somehow didn't save). Can't believe I didn't see this when I proofread my app. Please spare me the scolding I know I deserve! I already feel awful.

All of my extra-curricular activities are listed on my resume (and I discuss them at length in my personal statement), and I honestly think they're the strongest part of my application.

Can I do anything about this? I submitted the app yesterday, and it hasn't been processed yet. If not, how much will this hurt me? I realize it makes me look like I don't pay careful attention to detail.

Incase it matters, my GPA is 3.9 and my LSAT score is 174.

Thank you!
Relax...you can either email them once you receive the confirmation email of your application, and include the document....or you can not worry about it, if you already mention it, I doubt it matters, besides, isn't TLS mantra softs don't matter?

Really appreciate the reassurance. Is there any reason I should wait until I get the confirmation email? I was planning on calling their admissions office tomorrow.

There's not particular reason, but then they have a file created for you so they can place the document there....it doesn't make a difference but I would wait.....
